Try taking the other 4 nuts off to get as little pressure on that nut as possible, then drill a hole in the middle of the lock nut and use the biggest easy-out you can.

Do you have enough original Land Rover lug nuts, to instal 16" wheels,?
The ones that are holding the 22" on your car will not work on Land Rover wheels,

Grinder to make room for tool if not enough to get a socket over it. That ugly wheel may need to be sacrificed. Several youtube videos available for additional ideas.

He has a good point.

Make sure you have the original lugs or else you can put the original lugs on.

And I think at this point, those 22s are marked for death.

Good points about the nuts. If you need them.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
YES, I did get a set of OEM lug nuts to install the 16s on the truck.
I couldn't believe how complicated this will be!
